Answer 1

Maxine miles runs a marathon in 2 hours and 40 minutes. Most of the ATP for this activity is supplied by AEROBIC glucose breakdown. ATP is the energy coin of the cell.

Cellular respiration refers to the metabolic processes by which aerobic cells produce ATP by using the energy stored in the chemical bonds of foods (e.g., glucose) and oxygen.

Muscle cells can produce ATP by both cellular respiration (aerobic conditions) and acid lactic fermentation (anaerobic conditions).

Acid lactic fermentation is a less efficient pathway than cellular respiration, but cellular respiration is slower than fermentation, thereby muscle cells use this pathway (acid lactic fermentation) when there is not enough oxygen in the body.
